Dynamic Simulation Suite For Simulation and Training Solutions Helping clients rise above the dynamic challenges of designing, controlling, and operating business safely, reliably, and profitably.
Dynamic Simulation from Start to Finish 1. Process Design Schneider Electric dynamic simulation software DYNSIM is used by many of the leading engineering, procurement and construction companies to validate process designs and to optimize capital expenditure by avoiding costly over design. A global leader in project management, engineering and construction for the energy industry used the SimSci DYNSIM software product to save more than $25 million on a single flare project in a new refinery. 2. Controls Checkout Pre-testing of control logic in the SimSci dynamic simulation environment can reduce commissioning time by several days, and sometimes even weeks. One of the largest shipbuilders in Europe claims savings of over $1 million on a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carrier Distributed Control System (DCS) project from using DYNSIM to check out the controls. 1.

3. Start-up and Training Operator Training Simulators are now used for greenfield and brownfield plants. Regardless if it s a new plant or a change to an existing plant, the operators need to know how to operate the DCS and the plant. Today s control room operators run mission critical processes across multi-billion dollar businesses where missteps can be very costly in terms of safety, availability and profitability. On average the U.S. Hydroprocessing Industry (HPI) alone faces one incident per day with an estimated cost of more than $2 million. Thus, the qualification of the operators directly impacts the OPEX and safety of a plant. Preventing one of those incidents would easily pay for an OTS! Recently a leading U.S. refining site claimed that their OTS saved them more than $10 million when operators trained on the Hydrocracker OTS, allowing them to recognize and correct a potentially dangerous situation from occurring. 4. Plant Operation According to industry reports, operator error is the cause of 42 percent of unscheduled plant shutdowns and 22% of all accidents. Schneider Electric Operator Training Simulator solutions enable our clients to drive improved operator competency leading to a dramatic impact on plant availability, plant safety and ultimately bottom line profitability. Schneider Electric is the preferred OTS provider to some of the largest companies in the world. Also, in a recent ARC report, BP estimated 2 production days saved each year from improved recovery from upsets and 1 percent improvement in costs through better control of the plant. 3.

Dynamic Simulation Suite Overview The Dynamic Simulation Suite (DSS) from SimSci offers process engineering tools ranging from automated control strategy optimization to 3D virtual reality OTS. DSS provides you with a single, integrated dynamic simulation and emulation environment composed of DYNSIM, SimSci SCP, SimSci TRISIM Plus, and SimSci EYESIM that empowers you to design, operate, and optimize your plant. Incorporating more than 45 years of simulation and control system experience, DSS will satisfy your requirements for operator training, validation, and enhanced plant performance. Clients all over the world are realizing the following benefits: Lower capital and operating expenditures Shorter plant commissioning schedules Better operator effectiveness and agility Higher plant performance efficiency Refined process designs Superior control system software designs Increased operational safety Lower market risk Reduced equipment damage Increase process uptime Optimized process control during transients Faster, equivalent on-the-job training Regulatory compliance documentation
DYNSIM Comprehensive Dynamic Simulation DYNSIM is a dynamic process simulation program and the backbone of DSS that empowers you to design and operate your plant profitably and reliably. This allows you to meet your safety objectives while maximizing your plant availability with well validated control strategies and optimized production performance. Typical Applications: Broad Industry Applicability Gas oil separation units and gas plants LNG Liquefaction and Regasification Production and Transmission Pipelines Refinery units Petrochemical/Ethylene plants Ammonia and Urea plants Fossil power plants Integrated gasification combined-cycle plants (IGCC) Metals, Mining and Minerals Waste water treatment units Engineering Studies Distillation column relief load studies Compressor system studies Depressuring studies Refinery steam/utility system studies Flare system analysis Boiler draft control studies Process control design studies Dynamic decision support simulators
Training the Workforce of the Future OTS are rigorous dynamic process and control simulations that replicate your plant through a full range of operating conditions. This empowers you to train your control panel operators to react confidently in emergencies allowing your plant to return to peak production levels in an efficient manner. Taking OTS to the Next Level with Virtual Reality Using the latest technology, EYESIM integrates directly into the same robust DYNSIM simulation that was used to design your process, validate your control system, and familiarize your operators with the DCS interface. EYESIM allows you to leverage the investment in your OTS to adequately train both your control panel and field operators to cooperate and coordinate so that they can function together. EYESIM Benefits Reduce the time to operator proficiency Improve operators ability to respond quickly and correctly to emergency situations Provide a realistic environment to practice operating procedures Improve skills for rarely performed but safety-critical tasks Reduce unnecessary shutdowns and reduced plant performance due to operator error Capture operator knowledge and best practices
DYNSIM Foxboro Simulation of CP SCP software, built from the actual Foxboro Control Processor (CP) 270/280 source, uses the same communication protocol and connects to the same hardware and software as the Foxboro CP. SCP software provides a comprehensive environment for modeling, validation, system checkout, and training. SCP includes a light version of the DYNSIM process modeling software and the capability to bulk configure tie-back models based on the I/O. TRISIM Plus TRISIM Plus is the only solution that connects lock-step to the Triconex Trident, Tricon, and TRI-GP controller emulation for robust and seamless integration. Validate your turbomachinery design, compressor controls, or emergency shutdown procedures safely, offline. This can be done either as a standalone application or as part of an integrated checkout system that includes the plant DCS, HMI, and alarms. SCP & TRISIM Plus Benefits Dramatically reduce commissioning and start-up times Design superior quality real-time control software Provide high-quality operator training Validate control during retrofit/upgrade Provide accurate analysis and troubleshooting for Foxboro or Triconex controllers Customer Relationships Schneider Electric SimSci prides itself in the strong relationships it maintains with its customer base and the large amount of repeat business we receive from those companies.
